What’s your favorite quote or motto?

“A constant state of readiness.” This is Swagger State’s slogan.

Why are you passionate about personal training?

As a former high school and collegiate athlete, this is my dream job. I get to help people deny themselves and overcome. The most inspiring people in my life growing up, other than my mom, was my high-school and college strength and conditioning coaches. Plus, it’s no surprise to anyone who truly knows me that this is what I’m doing for a living. The only other job that I can think of that gets to help people overcome are preachers.

What type of clients or members do you serve?

Local men and women ages 30 – 50 years of age. House wives to executives with busy lives and kids. They are all looking to get their Swagger back. I do have a couple of 20 year old students but I try not to take on too many.
